At weddings, the 31-year-old utility star has his own fanbase of mothers.

Why is Kike Hernandez popular amongst mothers at weddings?

In an interview with JM Baseball that aired a few hours back, Kike made this unbelievable revelation about the fanbase his dancing creates at weddings. Hernandez narrated a story that started with him tearing his pants at three Dodger weddings because he went “out of control” while dancing. However, it’s the same out-of-control dancing that made Kike a mamma’s favorite at weddings.

At 12:00, he narrated, “There was like three or four Dodger weddings and I went to three of them. And I went three for three. I went to three weddings, and I ripped three pants. It just sometimes gets out of control.”

He continued to talk about how he attracts mothers to his dancing, before revealing his alter-ego named Kiki. Kike said, “And I get one mom that thinks she can dance. And I literally like to humble them. [“So you’re dancing with the mamas?”] With people like moms that think that they can dance. And they start shaking their booty and it just, it happens man. It happens. Enrique goes from Kike to Kiki.”

However, the only difference between Kike and Kiki (Hernandez’s stripper name) is that one can dance, while the other can not. Finally, he said, “Kiki is like my Alter Ego it’s my stripper name. The persona is the same but the hips are a little more loose.”
